The components for this came from my cupboard and leftovers from Thanksgiving. It’s a beloved family dish and a hit at potlucks. Making anything from scratch is difficult, but using leftovers is simple. In either case, it is a success and is time well spent. After a holiday meal, you typically have the turkey and mashed potatoes, so half the labor is already done. I typically substitute chicken for the turkey when making it from scratch. Leftovers reduce preparation times.

Soooooo good! I used cherry tomtoes and a bit less cream and a bit more feta (wanted to use it up), The sauce is to die for, so have plenty of bread at hand for dipping!!!
simple and delicious vegetarian dish, perfect for a light summer meal with bread. I used a little less cream, just poured in a generous dash
Made it as described and it was delicious. Will definitely make again.
Good flavors, but the feta kind of broke down a lot and it ended up being too soupy. I served it with toast and topped it with an egg.
